Chetan Bhagat more careful with films now

With his third book ready to be adapted into film, author Chetan Bhagat says he has become more careful after the 3 Idiots films controversy.

“I am more careful and clear now. I want and make sure that there is no confusion regarding anything,” says Bhagat, whose book Five Point Someone formed the basis for the blockbuster film 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan went on to become the highest grosser in Indian film history.

Bhagat and the producers and directors of the film had gone public with their fight over credits. The matter was later resolved.

Another of Bhagat’s books 3 Mistakes of my life released in 2008 is being made into a film directed by Rock On fame Abhishek Kapoor and reportedly starring Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan.

Bollywood directors have always been fascinated by best-selling books and Chetan Bhagat’s novels seems to be a favourite when it comes to making films.
